Scarce jobs? Where did you hear that? We have a massive employee shortage in most areas.

Only nursing and jobs that don’t pay enough to live here.

2.6% unemployment rate. So many jobs available in many many fields

Unemployment rate only counts those still looking for a job. And doesn’t account for the actual jobs themselves. This state is full of retirees, nursing positions to care for them, and minimum wage service jobs.

The jobs you’re referring to generally don’t pay much. Yes this state needs more blue-collar workers but when you’re offering $15 an hour and a crappy one bedroom apartment is $1200 that does not entice people to move here.

The state offers $7500 to incentivize workers moving here. So many people applied they paused the program. There are many many people enticed to move here. Finding housing is another issue.

$7,500 doesn’t help when you end up working for $15 an hour.
